After leaving the New Jersey Devils organization due to "personal reasons", Chessarmy has returned to the NHL as the new Predators GM. The hockey world was shocked by the decision, which was announced earlier today. Many thought the ex-Devils GM had retired.

Chessarmy wouldn't give any details about his departure from New Jersey, "I had some personal issues to deal with, its as simple as that". Regardless of what happened in Jersey, the Nashville Predators are looking forward to a long and successful era under new management. "This roster looks great, the last GM did a wonderful job of building what I believe is a playoff team." Army continued, "I also really love country so its good to be here in the nitty gritty music city. I think I have over 50 Kenny Chesney songs on my iPod. I want to win for Kenny."

But did Chessarmy join the Predators for the music, or for the hockey?

"Both. I fully expect our arena to play nothing but country during stoppages. Seriously."

- Every team must set their teams to be CPU Playable. This well ensure the most active teams get their games in, and if someone cannot make their scheduled games, you can post on this thread and give all other teams the “Go Ahead” to play your CPU. YOU MAY ONLY PLAY SOMEONE ELSE’S CPU WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION 1 HOUR PRIOR TO ADVANCING and IF YOU HAVE MADE AN EFFORT TO SCHEDULE THE GAME VIA HF PM and / or Xbox message AT LEAST ONE DAY PRIOR TO THE END OF THE WINDOW. If you have not done so, the game will be simmed one the advance. If you believe someone has played your CPU in error, contact Chuckwoods or Jack de la Hoya.

- We will not accept a CPU DNF higher than 0%. You will get ONE warning if I find it higher than 0%. If you cannot provide a legitimate reason as to why it will be higher, you will be removed.

- No goalie may play more than 72 regular season games. It is your responsibility to ensure that your backup(s) get work in early, and long-term absence will not be considered a valid excuse. The penalties for non-compliance are--1) a playoff suspension of one-game per game over 72, and 2) (at the discretion of Chuckwoods and Jack de la Hoya) restrictions on free agency and / or forfeiture of a draft pick.
